Are you sitting comfortably?

I wasn't too hopeful of doing much with today's task of writing a poem for children. This was one of those poems that took longer than it was worth, and maybe I shouldn't have persevered with it. But at last it's done... fingers crossed for a better day tomorrow.



Head Blues


If you're feeling rather flat
I recommend you wear a hat
just pop a cap upon your head
and soon you'll feel just fine instead

If you're acting like a meanie
squeeze your noodle in a beanie
or put on a snuggly snood
it's guaranteed to help your mood

Don't put up with any whining
find a smile within the lining
when your spirit starts to fester
raise it with a nice sou'wester

If you have a gloomy aura
simply don a smart fedora
things don't feel so sad and grim
when you're concealed beneath the brim

If a bowler's on your crown
there's nothing that can bring you down
soon you'll dance a swell bolero
if you sport a big sombrero

When your lip begins to wobble
choose some headgear with a bobble
and to combat cloudy weather
wear a stetson with a feather

If you're really at wit's end
remember your hat is your friend
and if you're feeling sad again
he's got some cuddles for your brain
